		<title>Last week, scientists at the University of Michigan published research showing sulforaphane inhibits breast cancer stem cells. These findings suggest that sulforaphane could be a potentially viable therapy for breast cancer.</title>

Consumers are also bombarded with conflicting and confusing information about health and nutrition (eat this, don’t eat that, don’t microwave this, combine these foods…).

But, there is one well-researched and proven natural plant compound which has anticancer activity, sulforaphane, that is readily available to everyone in its precursor (sulforaphane glucosinolate, often referred to as SGS) from broccoli sprouts available in fresh produce sections of supermarkets. ]]></description>
